9-10-13 This is a 25 second exposure of the Skykomish River in the North Cascades, Washington. I used a polarizer to add depth to the color of the reflections.

To all who asked about my move south. I am still living in Seattle and we have a place in Rockaway Beach, Oregon where we have planned on retiring to until recently. We purchased 2.6 acres in Waldport, Oregon about .25 mile from the ocean. (This location is about 100 miles south of Rockaway Beach and about 300 miles SW of Seattle hence south.) We do to have an exact timeframe of our move but our ultimate destination is to Sunny Sitka (our nickname since it seems like it is unseasonably sunny there whenever we are there) and Sitka Ridge is is the name of the street) just 3 miles south of Waldport and 6 miles north of Yachats, Oregon.
